Guava And Cream Cheese Pastelitos Recipe

• All-purpose flour for dusting counter
• 2 sheets (one 17.3-ounce package) frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions (see notes)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces and softened
• 6 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces guava paste, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
• 2 egg yolks

1. Adjust oven racks to upper third and lower third positions and preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Lightly dust the counter and rolling pin with flour. Roll out each puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square. Cut each into quarters to make four 6-inch squares.
3. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, lemon juice, and salt until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Place 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture in center of each square. Evenly distribute guava cubes among squares, arranging them on top of the cream cheese mixture.
5. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream. Brush edges of each square with egg wash, then, fold the squares diagonally to form triangles. Seal the edges by pressing them with the tines of a fork. Brush triangles with egg wash.
6. Place the pastelitos on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes, alternating baking sheets halfway through baking. Transfer baking sheets to cooling racks. Cool pastelitos on sheets 5 to 10 minutes prior to serving. May be eaten at room temperature. Pastelitos are best eaten day they're made.
